5 Worlds Strongest Tour (2/2)
”Eeeeyyooouuuu!” Kishime was having convulsions rocket through his body.
I could only try to smile; my attacked worked. When I was kicked, at the same time, I was able to deliver a very fine Ki needle into Kishime's chest. The needle caused the unstable Ki to rapidly and painfully build up in his body. All of the fighting already had his body over extended, but the Ki needle pushed him over the edge.
I could hear the motor of the elevator platform moving. Kishime got away and couldn't do anything to stop him. I tried to stand up because I heard Bulma running over. I was able to rise to my feet, but it did last long I fell forwards into unconsciousness.
I do recall that hitting face first into the metal floor was softer than I imagined.
I was standing in front of a large metal desk in a well lit office. There was sounds of movement, shuffling documents, and typing all around me. For some reason I could only look around without being able to move anything below my neck.
A beach ball sized brilliantly glowing orb floated into view. It came over to the desk I was standing in front of and ”sat” down. Really it hovered in the air over the chair in the location a person's head would be if they sat in the chair.
”Ah...” the orb sighed blinking different colored lights, ”Well first off sorry for killing you.”
”What!?” I was confused did a peanut kill me.
”You choking on a peanut was supposed to set off a chain reaction that should've ended up with the appropriate person dying and you being fine.” the orb said, as if this were normal.
”Then what happened? Why am I dead?”
”Well, the person that was supposed save you looked away and you panicked. In your panic you tripped over a park bench, which caused the peanut to become dislodged.” the orb paused or went to sleep.
”Then what-” seemed the orb took long pauses because he cut me off.
”You didn't notice when you fell there was a flock of geese in the park that didn't appreciate your intrusion. You almost got out of the park when one grabbed your pants pulling them down. By pure bad luck you tripped with your pants around your ankles but this time into a passing truck. It was all very embarrassing.” the orb finished.
”So I died an embarrassing death cause you messed up?”
”It was embarrassing for me, also. I haven't had an incident like this since I was promoted fourteen million years ago. Besides we had a good run considering how over worked we are here.” the orb was defensive, ”But because it was my mistake ultimately I'll let you get another chance in a different universe.”
”Do I get a special power or get to be someone important?”
”Haha,” the orb laughed changed colors rapidly, ”You don't have the kinda karma for that. In fact you were you more bad act away from negative karma. I'd say your luck is could in the fact you get to reincarnate at all.”
Wow this thing wasn't pulling any punches.
”Don't look at me like that.” the orb sighed, ”Fine I'll give you something minor.”
It floated over to a nearby filling cabinet and looked through folders, until stopping at one.
”Ah ha, here we are. WEAKNESS SENSE. This talent will let you know if something is strong enough to kill you. That should help a little where you are going. Try to enjoy your new life its not like you will remember me tell you that or any of this after you reincarnate.” the orb said slapping me with the file.
I didn't move from the impact but the file disappeared. It felt like electricity flowed through my body as I felt a fundamental change.
”I have transcribed the talent on your soul.” the orb explained before it shouted, ”Need a pick up for reincarnation!”
Three more orbs of light floated into the room. Two of the them started escorting me towards a certain set of doors on the other side of the office.
”I can't believe you gave him that talent.” I heard the orb who stayed behind say to the boss.
”Well it wasn't much just a basic low level talent he didn't have high enough karma for anything more than gauging strength.” the boss orb confirmed.
”That's not what that does!” I heard the lower level orb say before I was shoved through the doors.
”Argh!” I woke up with a scream and looked around. I was in a familiar bed in a room I knew well.
Everything hurt and I couldn't remember the dream I had. It seemed important.
”Raditz, you are finally awake.” Kami was standing in the entrance to the room, ”Your friend, Bulma, will be pleased to hear you are awake.”
”How long was I out?” I asked.
”Two weeks Bulma flew you here after your battle. It was quite the tale.” he walked over and placed something in my hand. I knew what it was immediately.
”Korin gave me this to help you recover its a Senzu bean.” Kami placed the bean in my palm
I popped the bean in my mouth before he finished with the explanation. Just like in the show the effects were instant. I was completely healed and felt better than ever. I think I got a not so small power boost. I was going to have to properly thank that bio-man Kishime the next time I saw him.
”Thank you Kami. Can you lead me to Bulma?” Kami nodded in response to my question and led me outside. ”Your friend waited with you the entire time she was extremely upset by what had happened.”
”Raditz! You're ok!” Bulma greeted me with a firm hug. ”I'm sorry about what happened.”
”I'm a Saiyan. We don't die so easily.” I reassured. ”Besides we didn't get useful information.”
”I'm just happy we made it in time you were slipping in and out of consciousness, while giving me directions here to the lookout.” she said with a worried look. ”You're sure you're ok now?”
”Yeah Kami has some magic beans that heal you pretty much instantly.” I stated.
Kami interrupted our reunion with some interesting information of his own. It turns out he knew about Dr. Wheelo stealing the Dragon Balls from Pilaf who stole them from Bulma. He also knows the identity of the person who stole the balls from Dr. Wheelo.
The culprit was a henchman of one of Kami's old foes, Garlic Jr. After making his wish the group as since gone underground. Unlike in the Dead Zone movie Kami believes Garlic Jr. wished for his father to be freed from the dimension of darkness, the Dead Zone. Kami requested that I continue my training so I'll be ready to help defend the Earth when Garlic makes his move. I did already promise him when I first got to Earth I would help if the planet needed me. Besides there was no way somebody was getting a planet that I had plans for.
Bulma and I said our goodbyes before I asked her to try and convince her father to invest in the World Martial Arts Tournament. Increasing the media coverage of the tournament might inspire more people to become martial artists. To my surprise she actually agreed to try.
I decided I was going to take my art to the next level. I wanted to incorporate ideas I saw in other anime that have similar powers to the world I'm in now. An example would be if I could learn Hokuto Shinken from Fist of the North star anime or train like Isaac Netero from Hunter x Hunter.
If I can't replicate other moves from different series I might still be able to approximate their functions. Besides I need more power to stay ahead of the curve. It wasn't like knowledge of the future would help too much seeing as how things have changed drastically. Now that I knew that Earth wasn't going to be as much of a cakewalk as I previously thought, I was going to be ready.
